Crazy Dangerous by Andrew Klavan Book Review and Blog Tour

About Crazy Dangerous: Sam Hopkins is a good kid who has fallen in with the wrong crowd. Hanging around with car thieves and thugs, Sam knows it’s only a matter of time before he makes one bad decision too many and gets into real trouble. But one day, Sam sees these thugs harassing an eccentric schoolmate named Jennifer. Finding the courage to face the bullies down, Sam loses a bad set of friends and acquires a very strange new one. Because Jennifer is not just eccentric. To Sam, she seems downright crazy. She has terrifying hallucinations involving demons, the devil, and death. And here’s the really crazy part: Sam is beginning to suspect that these visions may actually be prophecies-prophecies of something terrible that’s going to happen very soon. Unless he can stop it. With no one to believe him, with no one to help him, Sam is now all alone in a race against time. Finding the truth before disaster strikes is going to be both crazy and very, very dangerous.

My review:  What an amazing book!  This is the first time that I have read any of Andrew Klavan's books and I am sure that it will not be the last.  Crazy Dangerous has a crazy way about sucking you into the story from page one.  I have never read a book that was able to capture the perspective of someone with schizophrenia the way that Crazy Dangerous did.  I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and found that both Sam and Jennifer's internal struggles were easy to relate to.  While I am not a huge fan of books that are gruesome as I have an over imaginative mind, so the amount of death in this book was some what bothersome to me and I would not recommend it for young teens (anyone 14 or younger).  Crazy Dangerous is a young adult book, but by no means is a childish book!  I give Crazy Dangerous 5 out of 5 stars!!!
